Gaswerksiedlung (1926)

Hot Spot for Creative Work and Culture – The size and importance of the old gas works can still be judged by the apartment complex built for its employees. In 2015 the area was zoned for industrial use, which meant it could no longer be used residentially. A combined heat and power plant and new office space are projected to be built behind the complex. The 250-meter-long building, which recalls Hanseatic brick architecture, will be integrated into the new development. In 2018 creative studios and a coworking space opened there. Parties and events can be held behind the building. The neighboring Funkhaus Berlin is a magnet, as are Club Sisyphos (located in a former dog biscuit factory) and the nearby Spree riverfront. The Rummelsburg Power Station, located across the street, is also going to be integrated into Funkhaus Berlin’s location concept.
